Articles About Illness I Want to Share

FOR WRITERS:
Rest Ministries receives a lot of articles from people who have the gift of writing. Unfortunately, we aren't able to reprint everything, but we want the writers to have a forum to share them. Remember, these should be well-written, proofed, complete articles. We recommend between 300-900 words. If you hit about 750 words, consider how you could break the topic into 2 articles.

Anyone is allowed to post their articles here, but by doing so you are allowing anyone to reprint it on their web site, blog, church newsletter, support group newsletter, etc.

PLEASE BE SURE to end the article with 2-3 sentences about yourself. And use this to bring people back to your web site if you want. For example, my commonly used footer is

Get a free download of 200 Ways to Encourage a Chronically Ill Friend from "Beyond Casseroles" by Lisa Copen when you subscribe to HopeNotes invisible illness ezine at Rest Ministries. Lisa is the founder of Invisible Illness Week

We also advise you to add Copyright [your name] at the end of the article and your email so those who reprint your article can contact you to let you know when and where it will appear.

You may also wish to consider joining www.ideamarketers.com . When you post your articles there you can also get a widget, a snippet of code anyone can put on their web site that includes all your latest articles. An example of Lisa Copen's is below.

TO SUBMIT YOUR ARTICLES: Scroll down and click "Start a Discussion." Then in the title area, enter the title of your article and in the body re-enter the title of your article, your name, the article, your resource box and copyright into.

Thanks for sharing your work! We hope it encourages others and also acts as a way for you to let others know about your own endeavors.
